    Altima wheels with Blizzak tires

    They're steelies with nice covers that do look like that. Guess I need to sell these and find something better (this has been a major PITA). Thanks for the update.

    Altima wheels with Blizzak tires

    hi garsh, Do you happen to remember the specs for those Altima wheels? It looks like Altima wheels are 16x7, while OEM is 16x6-1/2. What size winter tire did you install? Got a killer deal on 16x7s, but the size difference concerns me.

    Will these Nissan OEM wheels fit the LEAF?

    So can I mount the planned 205/55R16 tires on these 16x7J wheels, or will the increased width be a problem? I remember reading about many folks using Altima wheels before, but can't find many references to them now. It looks like 16x6-1/2 OEM wheels can be found on the Nissan Sentra, but are...

    Will these Nissan OEM wheels fit the LEAF?

    Size=16x7J Offset=45mm Center bore= 66.1mm Bolt pattern=5X114.3mm These were mounted on an Nissan Altima (not sure about model year). I thought people were using Altima wheels on the LEAF, but the offset/size is making me wonder. I have 17" wheels, but want to get these for use with 16"...

    Bought an HD Dash Cam for my LEAF - Check it out here...

    You must not have looked around, as Datakam has been around for at least a year. That said, I do like the look of your software, and the more competition, the better. I'll have to check it out. Are you still using the original cable? Was it long enough for both sides? Do you have the lens...

    Bought an HD Dash Cam for my LEAF - Check it out here...

    Can you please post some pictures of how you mounted those sideways cameras, and maybe a full resolution video frame? I've been thinking about installing bullet cams designed for motorcycles, but this looks great.

    WOLO Horn Mod - Beware, Loud and CHEEEEP

    It sure sounds like the stock horn when you lock the car with the remote fob. Remember, I'm not talking about the soft beeps when you push the lock button on the door handle (which are probably generated by the VSP hardware). Guess I need to give those WOLO horns a try.

    silence back up VSP

    I'm sure property & neighborhood layout/density/noise levels all influence this perception, so it's not the same for everyone. I don't mind the beeping in a busy parking lot, but in a dead silent neighborhood early in the morning? Too much.

    silence back up VSP

    Same problem here, leaving in the morning wakes up the neighborhood, including the SO (embarrassing as hell since it sounds like a schoolbus doing a 3 point turn). I still have to do one of these mods, but I wish Nissan would make the reverse beep optional (I'm ok with the other sounds).

    WOLO Horn Mod - Beware, Loud and CHEEEEP

    If anyone installs these Harbor Freight ones, please report back. I'm guessing this is also going to make the door locking action much louder (when using the fob)?

    Neutral instead of Regen hack?

    It's not even close to 100%, last time I read about this, I believe the recovery percentage was more like 40%-50% depending on how you calculate this number (which is really impressive to begin with). Personally, I would prefer to feel a little 'snap' in the accelerator pedal movement, so it's...

    EVs Blocking Charging Stations

    I guess it depends on the type of crowd you hang out with. Many techies avoid Facebook due to the many privacy concerns, nor do I have any interest in observing what someone's stool looks like ;) But this thread isn't about that, I just wanted to mention that not everyone can access that link...

    Blacked-out front "grille"

    Do you have any tips about wrapping that trim piece? Although I mounted my DRLs right below that trim piece, I'd like to try this.

    EVs Blocking Charging Stations

    In most cases, this happens because the EV spot was ICEd, and the offending vehicle left after the EV plugged in. I deal with this all the time. Blame the ICE that parked in the wrong spot ;) At least in CA, you have some recourse (assuming the proper signage was installed), and can get that...

    EVs Blocking Charging Stations

    For what it's worth, not everyone uses Facebook, but I'm guessing it's some sort of Facebook group. Also keep in mind that you might not always know the backstory when seeing an unplugged EV in a charging spot. Maybe the charging station is broken (happened to me several times), or someone...

    What is up with this non-cupholder center console pocket?

    It's the perfect spot for my phone. I do plan on adding a Qi wireless charger to that section, so my phone can charge while sitting in that space.

    I Just Updated my LEAF Website - Let me know what you think!

    I have a couple of comments about your numbers, as they contradicts the experience of many owners, and existing data. We need to make sure we share realistic data, as I keep encountering LEAF owners who are so disappointed, they will not get a LEAF/EV again. You are obviously aren't using the...

    grabby brake issue - TSBs, workarounds, suggestions

    Still experiencing the issue myself, so I mentioned it during my recent annual check up, but they couldn't duplicate it. I'll have to take the mechanic out for a test drive (has to go back for other major issues), since it's still happening. I'm truly tired of having to say sorry to my...

    Bought an HD Dash Cam for my LEAF - Check it out here...

    It's very strange that Nissan wasted this space. I actually bought a spare center console cover, etc., so I can try building a new version (planning on adding Qi chargng, and various other options). I also bought a 808 #16 camera a while back, which offers an extended lens option, with the...

    2013 SV has the clicking sound

    Just got a follow-up call, they now say it's the reduction gear, and will be replacing it. I'll be put into an ICE loaner, but they say it's safe to drive for now. I really hope I won't regret this fix.
